The aviation industry has a long history of government support, dating back to the 1930s. The 1978 Airline Deregulation Act marked a significant shift towards market-based solutions, which has contributed to the current crisis. A deeper understanding of this history is necessary for developing effective solutions.
The US budget airline industry's crisis highlights the need for a more sustainable and equitable aviation sector.
A deeper understanding of the industry's history, structure, and social and environmental impacts is necessary for developing effective solutions. The perspectives of marginalized communities, including low-income and minority groups, are essential for addressing the social and environmental impacts of the industry. A future modelling exercise can help us anticipate the potential consequences of different policy scenarios, including the implementation of government investment in sustainable aviation technologies, aviation industry restructuring, and carbon pricing and emissions reduction. By combining these approaches, we can create a more sustainable and equitable aviation sector that prioritizes the needs of people and the planet.
